Ubuntu

Mplayer do not play

Asked by kiroro

My system is 7.10 AMD64. I installed mplayer in terminal: sudo apt-get install mplayer

And it installed with no problems. Then I ran gmplayer in terminal and got this:

*************************************************

Something to do with XScreenSaver I guess? How to fix it?

I looked up and found it could be permission issue. So I ran 'sudo gmplayer' in terminal and it opened. The output in terminal is:
